The Comparison of Cerebral Oxygenation among Mechanically Ventilated Children Receiving Protocolized Sedation and Analgesia versus Clinician's Decision in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adequate sedation and analgesia are two crucial factors affecting recovery of intensive care patients. Improper use of sedation and analgesia in intensive care patients may adversely lead to brain oxygen desaturation. This study aims to determine cerebral oxygenation as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and inotropic interventions received among mechanically ventilated children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Methods

This study is a nested case - control study in the PICU of Indonesian tertiary hospital. Children aged 1 month to 17 years on mechanical ventilation and were given sedation and analgesia were included in the study. Subjects were divided into two groups according to the protocol of the main study (Clinical Trial ID NCT0478858
